Some people have friends
Are you saying they are friends (in which case, what is the point of pointing to the much weaker relationship)? Or are you saying the weaker relationship is evidence of friendship (presumably combined with the fact that he chose to go to the Bahamas)? Or something else?
Edit: Whoops, I just read more of the comments and am seeing there is a tribalism angle to this. I'm not sure I want to try parsing the answers to my questions :(
